"Just one block from the Great Hill at Central Park, Mangetsu Sushi is the answer to all your (upper) Upper West Side maki-on-park-bench needs. They make affordable, good-quality basic rolls—like inside-out tuna or shrimp tempura—as well as more creative combinations, like an NYC roll with shrimp tempura rolled with vegetables in pink soy paper and topped with spicy tuna and tobiko. Lunch is 20% off on weekdays, and lunch roll combos extend to weekends, too. Mangetsu also takes catering orders, in case your park hang is more of a party." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
